¿Es selenium sulfide seguro durante el embarazo?

Selenium compounds are included in the CLP Annex VI harmonised entries as reproductive toxicants (Repr.2 / H361 for 'selenium compounds' group), so a suspected reproductive hazard applies to selenium sulfide. There is limited direct pregnancy safety data for topical selenium sulfide, but reviews show selenium is transferred across the placenta (demonstrated placental transfer). Topical rinse-off use (shampoo/lotion) gives negligible systemic absorption in normal use, so exposure from cosmetic topical application is expected to be negligible.

¿Es selenium sulfide seguro durante la lactancia?

Same suspected reproductive/offspring hazard classification (H361 for selenium compounds) applies. Selenium species are known to be present in and transferred into breast milk (demonstrated), but topical cosmetic rinse-off use results in negligible systemic absorption so maternal exposure—and therefore transfer into milk from cosmetic use—is expected to be minimal/low.

¿Es selenium sulfide seguro para la piel del bebé?

Hazard assessment follows the harmonised classification for selenium compounds (H361). Mechanistic evidence indicates selenium is transferred mother→fetus and appears in breast milk (demonstrated). For baby skin (0–3 yr) dermal exposure: although adult topical rinse-off absorption is negligible, immature infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and a less mature barrier—so exposure score is increased by +1 (measurable but low).
